2. Reason for RevisionNet revenue remains as per our original projection, but due to the foreign exchange impact, a little additional revenue will be expected.
On the other hand, almost all of costs including labor cost are now forecasted to be much lower than we expected. Also, in terms of non-operating income, unexpected foreign exchange gain of around 800 million yen will be booked. Because of the above reason, we are revising upwards our earnings forecast for Net Sales, Operating income, Ordinary income and Net income.
In summary, as a result of this revision, compared to the first quarter forecast previously published, Net Sales, Operating income, Ordinary income and Net income are expected to increase by 1.8%, .34.6%, 49.1% and 50.0% respectively.
